If I were a journalist or reporter I might be fired. I seems like I'm always writing old news. Thankfully, I'm not and I know you will all forgive me :)
I have a few things to share with you, but before I get to those I wanted to let everyone know about the CHEO telethon. The telethon starts at 7 pm tonight and I believe it runs for 24 hours. Tomorrow, our family is set to appear on TV at about 5:40pm. They will play a short video, telling Victoria's story, followed by our live update. Hopefully, I can hold it together and you won't tune in to find be crying my eyes out (lets hope they use water-proof mascara!)
Though this won't be Victoria's TV debut. Some of you may have already spotted her on CHEO's latest commercial. If you don't know her well, she's the younger girl, 9 seconds in, sitting with one of her favorite nurses. Her speech isn't that great but she is saying "I love CHEO" (we couldn't get her to say "I need CHEO").
Here is the link to the commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxnU5j6gqF4
I hope that this is just the beginning of our family doing our part in helping out. There is now a list of various causes and charities near and dear to our hearts. We certainly have our work cut out for us in repaying all of the help we have received to date.
Many of you have already been doing an amazing job of fundraising and we are so thankful for all of your hard work. More on that to come.
She was a little star in that commercial. Sweetest little face I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteJust watched the video on You Tube from the telethon. Thanks for the heads up on the Kleenex :)
